national security threat for our country and future generations of Americans. Many people have tried in the past to attack our debt deficit issues here in this country and many have failed, but my generation can’t afford to fail. So that’s going to be something that I’m going to tackle. And also I want to make sure that we do everything that we can to keep this economy going. I’ve been all over my district and talked to people from all walks of life, including Democrats, union Democrats, who are working more now under this president than ever before. And most of these are lifelong Democrats. But they’re going to be pulling the lever for President Trump because of this economy.

Sean: At the end of the day, people are going to vote with their pocketbooks. Even if people, including conservatives, don’t like the president’s comportment, they like his policies. I’ll give you an example of what I mean by that. One of my buddies is a staunch pro-life conservative. He didn’t vote for President Trump the first time around because he didn’t believe that the president was a true conservative. Well, this time around, he is all on board with President Trump because he has seen what his policies have done for his family. He has seen what his policies have done for the country.
